Re: [Orgmode] Re: Idea for agenda notifications

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Awesome! This idea could be extended to add other kind of events, like send emails, SMS, play some audio file, whatever (turn org-mode in a kind of PIM server too.. hmm, lots of cool ideas come to my mind). I still prefer using the gnome-notifier but it shouldn't be hard to adapt it for that.

Well -- the first thing I need to do though is to master elisp :)

Thanks!

Marcelo.

I have emacs w/ org running at all times, and I use a hook with
kdialog to make popup notifications when appointments are due.

I adapted this from someone else's post on using Zenity, I wish I
remembered who so I could credit them.

Here is a snippet from my .emacs:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
;; For org appointment reminders

;; Get appointments for today

(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt ()
       (interactive)
       (setq appt-time-msg-list nil)

       (let ((org-deadline-warning-days 0))    ;; will be automatic in org  5.23

         (org-agenda-to-appt)))

(my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(appt-activate t)
(run-at-time "24:01" nil 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)

;; 5 minute warning
(setq appt-message-warning-time '60)
(setq appt-display-interval '15)

;; Update appt each time agenda opened.

(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)

;; Setup zenify, we tell appt to use window, and replace default function
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function my-appt-disp-window))

(defun my-appt-disp-window (min-to-app new-time msg)
       (save-window-excursion (shell-command (concat
     "/usr/bin/kdialog --msgbox '" msg "' &") nil nil)))
))
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Enjoy!
